Welcome one and all to a fresh Developer Update! I’m your Community Lead, Toller, and I’ve got this week’s news all ready to share!
Here is the Weekly Timetable
WEEKLY EVENTS
It’s another lovely week in January, so let’s see what we have upcoming for events! We’ll start things off with an Infiltrator Kevin Token Collection Event! This will run over two days. Wednesday will kick off another two-day event, but of a different kind. It will be a Mission Event focused on City Wok Guy.
Wednesday will also bring the first day of Chaos for the week and this time around the heat is on as the “It Burns!” challenge begins. All cards that feature fire on their artwork will have their speed boosted, so get in there and fan those flames, New Kid!
We’ll close the week out with a traditional Weekend Card Usage Event, with the spotlight on fan-fave DogPoo! The following cards will be ready to march into battle:
- ManBearPig
- Medusa Bebe
- Dogpoo
- Rogue Token
- Woodland Critters
- Swashbuckler Red
- Classi
- Cyborg Kenny
- Scuzzlebutt
- Human Kite
- Starvin' Marvin
- Big Gay Al
- Mimsy

UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Some of you have already noticed this posting from our in-game news section, but for those who aren’t yet aware we’ll be pausing our game for maintenance tomorrow, Tuesday the 18th, at 8am UTC. This will last for roughly 3 hours. We don’t expect it to take any longer than that, but just in case keep an eye on our social media channels. We’ll be posting there if we need more time for any reason.
What’s inside this update? General behind-the-scenes work, that’s what! Some parts of the SPPD server are physically nearing 5 years old at this point in time, so we're moving a core part of the server to a more easily maintained infrastructure. There is no functional change coming with this maintenance, and the majority of the time is going to be spent migrating and validating data to ensure the move was successful. I know some of you were curious, so now you have the full details!
THE RETURN OF THE SHOWDOWN
Speaking of social media channels, we’re going to be running Showdown 2022 starting this Wednesday! We’ve got a whole new batch of cards who are ready to fight for the top slot! We’ll have daily voting on each of our social media channels! Feel free to take part in one, two, or all three of the votes! You’ll find them on our on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram!
Which character will win the vote this time around? Let us know your guess in the comments! Here’s the starting line-up for you to ponder over.
That’s all the news I have to share this time around. Coming up next week I’ll have more event information as well as the upcoming balance changes for February!
Until then, have a fantastic week, and best of luck on the battlefield to you all!
Hearts and Hugs,
-Toller!
It’s very concerning how little effort is being put into keeping this game fresh… every week is a stale recycled event. You know literally everyone was waiting for this announcement with bated breath to see how memberberries will be adjusted, yet nothing…. Meanwhile I have to deal with numerous teammates quitting the game every week because there is no incentive for people that have been playing the game since launch.
The developers need to come back from their vacation and put their heads down and do something of actual effort.
Wow 2022 has been terrible event after terrible event. So we have a dogpoo event at the weekend with the worst selection of boosted cards I have ever seen in the game.
Toller can I ask is there any plans to add anything new this year to the game. Any new modes changes to matchmaking or team wars (as the last change completey ruined silver league) I would even take being able to replay single player levels for rewards (could even charge cash to reset them)
Hate to break it to you but l8 cards ain’t coming. They said they were (15 months ago) in the developer q and a. Then a few months ago they said they had no plans for thatOriginally Posted by Kappe_619 Go to original post
The two easy ways to make the game better
1) no draws in tvt
2) adjust caps so meaningful reason to climb elo ladder. That is the source of a fair amount of the deranking now. People play far lower to grind events because most teams don’t have cap concerns.
Really? Nothing new at all?? New broken cards like memberberries out there, reduced Battle Pass rewards, same old gameplay with no new gameplay options like full level friendly fights, three theme decks, or anything new at all? You know most of your veteran players have already hit full level 25, most commons at near level 7, and will start to drop out of the game due to lack of variety, correct? We don't need more new cards, especially since most of them take long to level up to competitve legendary play, they are useless to veteran players that are higher ranked. Add some new game play options. Your main audience is going to start disappearing. Seriously, please read the writing on the wall, do something to save this great game from losing its core base of players.
"fan-fave DogPoo"
It was already a completely unplayable card for high arenas, and you also recently nerfed it. This is a joke about 'fan-fave'?)
And what's the point of these Speeded Card Challenges if it's only their movement speed is increased (and not their attack speed) that only makes those cards worse and unplayable in that challenge? Those who come up with the rules of the Challenge themselves even play them?

Good suggestions that are easier than ever to implement, but the developers don't care about the opinion of the community for a long time ((
first not everyone.. just you. trigger memberberrys early and deal with the summon. they cost 5 energy.Originally Posted by RandomTask33 Go to original post
